The made for TV 'Love in the Time of Corona: A Comedy' (2020) was the first television series and was first broadcast on 19th March 2020. The London set 'ShoPaapaa' (2020) is the first full length British feature film about Covid-19, and had its world premiere on 21st October 2020 at the Adelaide Film Festival, just two days before the global streaming premiere of 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' (2020) on 23rd October 2020, Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Borat' sequel, which also covers the coronavirus. In 2020, there are no less than seven filmed productions entitled 'Love in the Time of Corona' / 'Love in the Time of Coronavirus' - these titles being derived from the title of the Gabriel García Márquez novel and later film 'Love in the Time of Cholera'. 'Songbird' (2020) is reportedly the ''first feature film to be made during COVID-19 in Los Angeles'' and is the first major Hollywood movie about the Coronavirus.
Featured review
Timely series, somewhat informative, but cheesy narration.
Strangely, the beginning of a documentary about a pandemic starts with an upbeat music. Not sure that was the best choice of music there.
Despite arriving at a record time during this pandemic, a potentially good documentary turned into a typical Hollywood cheesy storyline filled up with the world = USA kind of mentality.
When a pandemic, by definition, involves the whole world, why would most (more than 80%) of the 'science' in the show be extracted from U.S.-based scientists? It was extremely annoying how it was implied that the slow response of China meant that the whole country did not do a good job (same case with Italy). However, when it came to the united states, almost nothing was mentioned about how poorly it was handled (only one scene of president Trump saying "nobody could have predicted...").
Lastly, the narration by J.K. Simmons was extremely opinion-driven where he tries so hard to invoke the viewers emotions about how the whole world has come together to end this pandemic, when in reality the world is in utter distress.
